unplanned teen pregnancies, had this been on the blue field.

You know what, I'm not upvoting another one of these videos until it's "20 years of methamphetamine addiction... In pictures!"

False: a carefree car
True: puts a little kick in your life

I was holding my breath every time that horse got more than a couple feet away from the fender.

hate for all your hard work to go to waste there, thinker, so i'll *beg again.

Hahah! Hilarious! It's about time!

From what I see and read around here, sift often gets flooded with videos that are knocking the same beat, no matter how off-time, because people see what's hot and take the opportunity to publish a cacophony of redundant videos for the star points. I think what Sagemind is trying to say is that many of you should know better than to keep hitting the pipe in this shameless quest for points, and to refrain from posting something trite even if *you know* it's going to get the votes simply for being what it is. Point being, you make this site what it is, so be careful that you don't crap where you eat.

My first published video was of George Carlin after his death. Despite the fact that his jokes were sub-par and the video was pretty dull, it has more votes than any of my other videos. I would kill it if it weren't for the fact that it was some of his earliest material, my only justification for posting it up in the first place. Sentiment has a strange ability to win hearts over something of true value. If 50 Sarah Palin videos means that even one video from the Onion might get overlooked (impossible, i know) then all my hope would be lost.

Filtering out Election '08 videos won't change the fact that there's a lack of quality videos getting published on the sift. I've got 4 videos in my PQ that I beg once in a while because it's stuff I legitimately enjoy, I'm 4 videos shy of a bronze star but I won't resort to publishing the crap I don't like just to boost my worth around here. My PQ isn't for most people, of course (yeah, most if it is probably considered crap,) but I'm happy with my own little piece here. I just find it hard to believe so many people around here are this interested in Sarah Palin. I get more than my fill from 15-30 minutes of NPR five days a week.

I'm sorry, sweetheart. I didn't mean it. I was crazy and stupid and said things I shouldn't have.

I upvoted this WAY too early, before I saw any of the really good stuff. Now I want to upvote it again.

I've always loved this video, so *beg

I don't know what the whole scuffle was over, but If I were him I would have headbutt her right in the nose. Then I would have made some really crazy faces and clawed at the air as the crowd was encircling me.

I second that. Videosift has gone from one of my favorite to one of my most disliked over the course of the last 6 months. I don't find an ounce of interesting material or entertainment in Fox News, Olberman, political bloopers, or the insane redundancy that is Election '08. I can't believe so many sifters haven't burned out on it yet. Then again, you get more videos published when you post clones of what's already in the top 15. And the gold star, that's what it's all about, right?

Even professionals have had their skulls crushed by widow makers and their heads lobbed off by trees bouncing back, both of which are seen in this video. Don't fuck with trees, they will fight back harder than you.
